]]>Does Paul Spears irrationally hate decorative plates? Does John Mark Reynolds irrationally love them? Is kitsch more than just tacky? Can value be found in bad culture? In a time when even the most candid moments can end up on YouTube, can professors afford to be silly around their students?

Join the aforementioned professors and Matt Jenson, all of the Torrey Honors Institute, as they delve into these and more questions. Such fine distinctions as “campy” vs. “kitschy” are discussed, and the Middlebrow podcast begins to sound suspiciously highbrow. Grab your monocle, put on your patent leather shoes, and break out the fancy cheese with these connoisseurs of culture!

Whose responsibility is this job of “fixing everything”? Join Dr. John Mark Reynolds and Dr. Fred Sanders of the Torrey Honors Institute as they unravel a bit more of the difficulties regarding wealth, poverty, politics, the “s” word, and the strangely apolitical sentiments of the current generation of students.

]]>Facebook is pervasive in society today – for some students, it has usurped cell phones as the primary means of communication. What are the implications of this new means of social intercourse? Does Facebook help us know people more fully? Or does it give us tools to hide ourselves more effectively?

Tune in to hear Dr. John Mark Reynolds, Dr. Paul Spears, and Dr. Matt Jenson, of the Torrey Honors Institute, as they discuss the merits of Facebook from a Christian perspective and reflect on their own diverse usage of social media.

Are any of those helpful tools to lead Christians to a more complete understanding of hell and God’s intention regarding it?

Put your listening ears on and find a seat as Dr. John Mark Reynolds and Dr. Fred Sanders, of the Torrey Honors Institute, dig into these tough questions and more in this edition of the Scriptorium Daily’s Middlebrow Podcast.

Join Dr. John Mark Reynolds and Dr. Fred Sanders, of the Torrey Honors Institute, as they discuss the method of Lady Philosophy’s consolation and its relevance to the Christian life. In the course of the podcast, they spend time sitting with the problem of evil, weigh the notions of Fortune and Providence, and consider what Boethius, Lady Philosophy, and the Bible have to say about each. As usual, the time runs out before the ideas do!

Join Dr. John Mark Reynolds, Director of the Torrey Honors Institute, and Dustin Steeve, a recent Torrey graduate and the Managing Editor of Evangelical Outpost, as they discuss the opportunities available to Torrey graduates and the skills and attitudes that a graduate needs in order to take advantage of them.

Tune in once again to hear Dr. John Mark Reynolds and Dr. Paul Spears, professors at the Torrey Honors Institute, as they and Dr. Craig Hazen revisit their discussion on this fascinating, dangerous topic.
